Wrong Way Jim Marshall, Buckner's Error, and from Contest Winner to Starting Kicker - This DiSH for Oct. 25

from Sports History Network

In 1970, Minnesota's DE Jim Marshall recovered a fumble but returned it the wrong way, scoring a safety rather than a touchdown. In 1986, the New York Mets rallied to score three runs in the bottom of the 10th that included an unfortunate error by Bill Buckner. In 2003, the Florida Marlins beat the New York Yankees to win the World Series, giving manager Jack McKeon a World Series title that had eluded him in his long baseball career. In 2008, Texas Tech kicker Matt Williams hit 9 PATs in a 63-21 win over #19 Kansas. Five weeks earlier he had been a regular guy watching from the stands until a between quarters contest that got him noticed. In 1980, Dallas Mavericks head coach brought a tiger into the locker room to motivate his team. It didn't work. In 1975, Australian women's tennis player Yvonne Goolagong beat Romanian men's tennis player Ilie Nastase in another Battle of the Sexes.
